hooray. we had golden wok for dinner. i really like eating in the restaurant, because it's so pretty, but our family room is a fine place to eat too. we all eat on the couch in front of the widescreen tv. goody. we were gonna watch a movie, since i have practically no homework (i'm so glad i got my math done!), but the dvd store didn't have star wars episode 2, and that was the only thing my dad was interested in. oh well, since it was guaranteed in stock we get to rent it for free next time.

well, let's see. school today.

first period was cool: almost everyone got a copy of the school newspaper and we all commented on the "stress of i.b." article, among other things. and sky came in late, with donuts. so that was cool. i kind of wanted to have two. we started with one half donut, then she asked if anyone wanted more. i almost took another half, but i was too shy i guess. oh, well, i need to lose weight anyway.

oh, but here's something very very bad: i think i may be getting a crush on parsons. ick. i hate it when this happens. why do i always go for the thirty-year olds??? aaargh. oh, well, it'll either go away or it won't, but either way it won't make much of a difference. only in class i was noticing how he doesn't seem to have a wedding band. NO! ick!

aaargh. well, hopefully i can quit thinking about THAT. anyway, science was fun; we had a model of collisions using two tennis balls hung from the ceiling, with bits of velcro on them... it was actually really cool. there was a diagram on the table and based on where the teacher let go, we predicted where the balls would go when they collided.

third period was interesting in that we decided who was going to debate on monday. like i thought: katsnelson and joel are doing the main, 4-minute points, and us other kids are doing the 2-minute stuff. lessee, jimmy is doing the first cross examination, sara (is that how you spell her name?) is doing the second, eve is doing the first rebuttal, and i'm doing the second. erk. oh well, at least katsnelson and joel are on our team. they're smart. oh, and here's what we're trying to prove: that the habsburg monarchy provided stability in 19th century europe. fascinating huh?

lunch i ate with nikki and ryan. and here's a first! i paid for their lunch. nikki was trying to get out her money but i was too quick. then she prodded ryan into thanking me. twice. heh. i wonder if he would've thanked me of his own volition. so lunch was kinda nice. omg. i just remembered that i still haven't eaten my peanut butter and honey sandwich. oh well, guess i have a lunch for tomorrow then. hmmm, well when we got back i headed off to the lunch room. partly to see if i could borrow someone's spanish book so i could study. partly to see alex and chaffin. really, if they didn't sit there i wouldn't either. i'm not what you'd call great friends with ivey or melissa... but anyway. there was a review in the school newspaper of las hadas. i can't actually remember anything about the place. all i remember was sitting, i think, with ivey and melissa and steven, and feeling awkward as i tried to order food in spanish, while the waiter was obviously annoyed. i think i ate once at the las hadas next to golden wok, too, with my parents; but they didn't like it. i can't remember. but i probably liked it. mexican food is mexican food and my parents are much more easily annoyed at restaurants than i am. but i said i didn't think i liked it, because i couldn't remember and i know my parents didn't. so i actually felt bad when melissa and alex said they liked it. oh, well. they probly forgot i said anything. but it was definitely fun to rip on the article. heh. oh, and eric called me crazy or something. but anyways...

i didn't talk to alex in math today! too bad. i did copy stuff down from the board, though. oh, and in the beginning of the period she asked people to put up homework problems and since i had actually done it for once, i volunteered to put up the first one. but eric told me my writing was too big, and then ali teased me too. stupid people. well, not really. it was kind of funny actually.

comp sci, we started to work on a program, which i wrote the algorithm for on paper (and basically figured out the whole program in the process) then got bored and started trying to figure out another program prompt.

ok then. spanish, lovely. we took a test, which i KNOW i messed up on. then we fixed our crappy previous tests. i got the back perfect, i was so proud!!! but i screwed up pretty well and good on the 'este, ese, aquel' section. stupid este ese aquel.

eighth period i spent happily torturing srav. whee. i helped her with her math some. oh, wow. she still hasn't sent me email. oh, well. i won't expect anything anytime soon.

yeah, then ninth period horrible weight training spent talking to the horribly annoying aimee. at least, according to srav. so that was fun, and i talked to baylee a bit afterwards... and, that was it. yep. then home again, home again jiggety jig. in my daddy's car. he picked me up today. and right at 3:15, too. very nice.

wow. and nikki called me and it was very emotional. that happens sometimes. it's kind of nice. you know, we're really alike, in a lot of ways.
